Badou Zaki Calls Up Initial 34 Players for the Two International Friendly Games in September

The Moroccan national coach Badou Zaki made public yesterday his 34-man list as he gets ready to participate in the CAN 2015 that will be hosted by Morocco.

The list did not show any suprises. Badou Zaki looks set to trust yet again in almost the same players that played Russia last June and lost 2-0. This time Zakaria Labyad, Nabil Dirar, and Marouane Chamakh, who were absent the last time for different reasons including injuries, were called up.

For Adel Taarabt, Badou Zaki is not considering to call him even though he was one of the Milan AC stars last season.

After that the good, but bad-mannered, player ignored the national call last year and concocted a snowball of lies regarding the reason behind him ignoring Zaki and the national team phone calls, Zaki seems, as he put it once to the local media, to have forgotten about the existence of a player whom he literally called “irresponsible.”

Taarabt is a very good talent, but unfortunately his bad manners hinders his potential.
